Beatles Receive Lifetime Achievement Grammy

01/27/2014.

(hennemusic) The Beatles were honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award Saturday at a pre-Grammy event in Los Angeles. Ringo Starr was joined by George Harrison's widow, Olivia, and John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, at the ceremony.

Paul McCartney was reportedly unable to attend due to rehearsals for Monday's taping of a Beatles television special produced in co-operation with the Grammy Awards, according to UT San Diego.

"It's a Lifetime Achievement Award, but I feel like we've all got a lot more life left in us," said Ringo. "It's a great afternoon; it's all about music The Beatles' music is still out there and that's what I'm most proud of."

"I'm here today because I think John would have wanted me to be here," said Ono. "Now the Beatles music is waiting and ready to go to planets all over the universe. I'm very excited about that." more on this story
